A family’s camping trip in Northern Arizona spiraled into a United Healthcare nightmare after a bat bite. One morning, Katy Monson, a clinical laboratory scientist from Utah, found two small, mysterious red dots on her 5-year-old’s earlobe. Monson immediately suspected a bat bite, especially since bats had been a known issue around their cabin.
Per Newsweek, Monson drove her son straight to their pediatrician, who confirmed her fears. This discovery set off a flurry of activity, with Monson quickly becoming inundated with calls from both the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Utah State Department of Health demanding that the entire family get rabies shots.
